Kitchen Ten Eleven

Palm Desert Golf Collective

5 out of 5 stars★★★★★

One of the best "19th holes" in the Coachella Valley. Restaurant Ten Eleven recently underwent a full renovation and it shows, it feels less like a standard golf course snack bar and more like a high-end, standalone restaurant. The Story Behind the Name: If you're wondering about the name, it’s a tribute to the community. 1,011 homeowners voted "yes" to purchase and restore the Trilogy Golf Club at La Quinta and this signature restaurant. That community pride really reflects in the welcoming atmosphere and the attentive staff. The Experience: I’ve visited several times now, often pairing lunch with a round or a lesson. Most recently, I took a morning lesson with the head pro and then hit the patio for lunch. Sitting in the shade with the misters on and some classic 80s music playing in the background made for a perfect, relaxing afternoon before I headed back to the range to work on my game. The Food & Drink: The menu is well-balanced, offering both "clean" healthy options and more indulgent fare. The Standout: The Mahi Mahi Tacos were excellent...fresh, light, and perfect for a post-golf meal. Variety: The salads are fresh and vibrant, but I also have to mention the pizza. I haven't tried it yet, but seeing it on a nearby table, it looked impressive enough to be on the list for next time. The Bar: Great selection of beers on tap and a full bar to satisfy whatever you’re craving after 18 holes. Bottom Line: It is definitely "off the beaten track" at the southeastern edge of the valley, but it’s worth the trip even if you aren't golfing. It’s a hidden gem with a great course, a solid staff, and a restaurant that deserves to be on your radar.

Kitchen 1011, located in Trilogy La Quinta, has truly become our go-to spot. We have a home in Trilogy, so we’re here often—and I’m so glad we’ve made this part of our regular routine. The setting is one of the best parts. Casual outdoor seating overlooking the driving range creates such a relaxed, easy atmosphere—perfect for a laid-back lunch or evening drink. The food is consistently good, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared. My favorite is the beet salad with arugula, pistachios, and goat cheese—such a great balance of flavors and anything but ordinary. I also love the salmon, which is always done well. My husband is a big fan of the chicken pesto sandwich—it’s one of his favorites. The menu has a great mix of elevated casual options, and I also love that they offer weekly specials, so there’s always something new to try. And don’t skip the espresso martini—it’s creamy, frothy, and one of the better ones I’ve had.

Kitchen 1011 is truly one of the best hidden gems in the area! Their Sunday brunch is outstanding, with delicious food, great variety, and a relaxing atmosphere that makes it the perfect way to spend a Sunday. We’ve also visited on other days, and the experience is consistently excellent. Everything we’ve tried has been fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always makes you feel welcome. Add in the incredible views, and you have a dining experience that is hard to beat. The food, service, atmosphere, and views are all five-star. If you live in the area or are visiting La Quinta, you absolutely need to check out Kitchen 1011. Once you go, you’ll definitely want to come back!

What a fantastic gem in the desert! My husband & I were told about the restaurant a few weeks ago, and we finally got a chance to try it. I can honestly say nothing about the experience was bad at all. Sure, it's a bit further out, but it's seriously worth the jaunt. The service was amazing: friendly hostess, waiters, management, and support staff alike. The decor was laidback but still classy, with classic rock lightly playing within the restaurant. We had mocktails (definitely recommend the blue lagoon!), meatballs marinara for an appetizer, braised short ribs and the spicy Italian pizza for main courses, and the butter cake for dessert. The gremolata on the short ribs was phenomenal, and the butter cake just melts in your mouth. The portions are large, too, so you will probably have some to take home for second dinner. :D Chef David really does put a lot of care into his dishes, and he has a wonderful grasp of flavor combinations. We plan to make it a regular date night to come out here for dinner. HIGHLY recommend! Sorry if my photos aren't the best; we were so eager to try everything that they were taken quickly. :)
